Nanoshell Fabrication Techniques for Probiotic Encapsulation: A Comprehensive Review

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Probiotics, beneficial microorganisms, confer numerous health benefits when administered. However, their efficacy is hindered by harsh gut conditions, including acidity, bile acids, and enzymatic degradation. To overcome these challenges, encapsulation and nanoshell technology have emerged as a pivotal strategy to enhance probiotic stability ...

Rice Mutants Lacking Starch Synthase I or Branching Enzyme IIb Activity Altered Starch Biosynthetic Protein Complexes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Amylopectin, the major component of starch, is synthesized by synergistic activity of multiple isozymes of starch synthases (SSs) and branching enzymes (BEs). The frequency and length of amylopectin branches determine the functionality of starch.

Staling Behavior of Chickpea‐Enriched Bread: A Dynamic Mechanical Analysis Approach

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Bread is a staple food widely consumed worldwide and therefore represents an excellent vehicle for increasing nutrient intake. In this context, the incorporation of chickpea flour into bread offers promising nutritional benefits; however, its impact on bread technological quality remains underexplored. This study investigated staling phenomena

Amylopectin structure and crystallinity explains variation in digestion kinetics of starches across botanic sources in an in vitro pig model

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2018
Background Starch is the main source of energy in commonly used pig diets. Besides effects related to the extent of starch digestion, also several effects related to variation in digestion rate have recently been demonstrated in non-ruminants.

Genome Editing in Root and Tuber Crop Development in Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Precision genome editing, particularly using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9), is advancing crop improvement by enabling targeted and efficient genetic modifications. Root and tuber crops such as potato, cassava, sweet potato, and yam are vital for global food and nutritional

The SD1 locus affects primary seed dormancy in winter malting barley

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Preharvest sprouting (PHS) resistance and seed dormancy are key targets for malting barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in environments with a high probability of rain events at harvest. Characterization has been limited in winter malting barley compared to spring malting barley in the United States.
